Corinthians. Analysis

King James Version: 1 Corinthians Chapter 13. AnalysisThe text under consideration is taken from The First Epistle to the Corinthians, King James Version of the Bible (Chapter 13) in the New Testament. To Corinthians is a letter from Paul of Tarsus and Sosthenes to the Christians of Corinth, Greece.

Saint Paul is regarded to be one of the most important figures in the history of the Western world. He was a Christian missionary who took the gospel of Christ to the first-century world. In the mid-30s to the mid-50s, he founded several churches in Asia Minor and Europe. Being a Jew and a Roman citizen were ideal pedigrees for his ministry to both Jewish and Roman audiences. His influence on Christian thought and practice has been characterized as being as "profound as it is pervasive". Thirteen of the 27 books in the New Testament have been attributed to Paul, and approximately half of the Acts of the Apostles deals with Paul’s life and works. Chapter 13 of the First Epistle to the Corinthians covers the subject of love, principally the love that Christians should have for each other and its importance in their life.

The analysis is set to reveal the text’s belonging to the publicist style, to be more precise, to the biblical oratory and to trace its peculiarities.The general aim of the publicistic style is to exert influence on public opinion, to convince the reader or the listener that the interpretation given by the writer or the speaker is the only correct one and to cause him to accept the point of view expressed in the speech, essay or article not merely by logical argumentation, but by emotional appeal as well. A text being a biblical oratory should possess certain features typical for the language of oratory and the biblical text. Let us trace and dwell upon these features. * Coherent and logical structure. One can observe: a smooth theme and rheme development, that contributes to the logical development of the text, key- words like...

1 Corinthians 13
The book of 1 Corinthians is the seventh book of the New Testament and is located between the books of Romans and 2 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians is also referred to as the first epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, as it was a letter written by the Apostle Paul to the Church in Corinth. It has been debated that letters and epistles differ from one another in literary style, as letters where meant to be nonliterary, versus epistles were meant as a public literary form (Fee 56) . For the purposes of this paper, I will use epistle and letter interchangeably. We know the literary form of 1 Corinthians is a letter and/or epistle because it followed the standard form of ancient letters. The standard form of ancient letters, much like letters of today, contained six distinct pieces, name of the writer, name of the recipient, greeting, prayer wish or thanksgiving, body, and final greeting and farewell (Fee 56-57). Paul’s epistle contained all of these standard elements, Paul was the writer, the church in Corinth was the recipient, “Grace and peace to you from God our Father…” is the greeting, thanksgiving “I always thank God for you…”, the body, and then the farewell, “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you” (Fee 57).
Paul’s letter was written approximately 55 AD (“Corinth in the Time of Paul” 1) and was constructed to address rumors of non-Christian...

...Exegetical study on:
1 Corinthians 14:1-6
Principles of Biblical Interpretation

The passage that I chose to exegete is 1 Corinthians 14:1-6, the main idea of this passage is for the apostle Paul to confront the Corinthian church in Corinth about their misuse of the spiritual gifts, namely the use of tongues. The following is a full outline of the passage with the main point of each verse, it goes as follows:
1 Pursue love, yet desire earnestly spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
Paul starts out this verse strongly with the word “pursue” and “earnestly” showing the importance he is putting on pursuing the spiritual gifts. He stresses the importance though of the gift of prophecy, showing right away what he is passionate about and what to pursue (Mare).
2 For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.
Here in verse 2 Paul addresses the gift of tongues and explains the use of it and how it is directed to God and not to men. He uses the word “mysteries” to describe that the speaker knows not what he is saying.
3 But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.
Paul is explaining in this verse that prophecy is a “greater” gift because is edifies (builds up) the church. This is seen by his use of “but”, inferring that he prefers prophesy over...

... The Origins of the Three Orders &amp; the Importance of the Corinthian Capital Vitruvius’s 10 books of architecture is the framework to base architectural principles on. As the last surviving work from the classical period it gave insights into the theories of Greek &amp; Roman architecture. The essay focuses on book IV chapter 1, The Origins of the Three Orders, and the Proportions of the Corinthian Capital. These orders had a significant impact on the Italian renaissance architecture and Vitruvius’s analysis has shown the effect it had on the period. This essay firstly discusses in detail, the effect Vitruvius has, and our understanding of Greek architecture and the lessons he provides today. It will also discuss methods of classifying the classical orders, by the use of history, scale and symbolism. This essay will finally observe the influence Vitruvius had in the development of architecture in the Italian Renaissance Period, by analysing the effects this had on architects &amp; historians. These factors will conclude that Vitruvius shaped the foundations for the Italian Renaissance period.
Vitruvius’s work is the vital piece in history, necessary to understanding the origins of the classical Greek order. If it were not for the survival of this work, we would not understand the origins of the classical Greek orders, or the proportions of the Corinthian capital. In this chapter...

...20 years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. His letter was written from Ephesus before the time of Pentecost.1
We know Paul is the author because it is stated twice with the letter, both in 1 Cor 1:1 and 1 Cor 16:21. However, it is probably not the first letter Paul wrote to the Corinthian church. In chapter 5 verse 9 he refers to a letter he has previously written. We do not have a copy of this letter.
Paul first went to Corinth, the chief city of Achaia, on his second missionary journey. Corinth was situated on an isthmus, much like Auckland, between the northern and the southern part of Greece making it a major port on the Mediterranean trade route. It was under Roman rule and was a melting pot of ethnicity including Greek, Romans and Jews. It was to the Jews that Paul first started preaching.2 In Corinth he stayed with a Jewish couple, Aquila and Priscilla who had come to Corinth from Italy, as they were tentmakers like him.3
While some Jews Paul testified to such as Crispus became Christians, the majority opposed him and became abusive.4 For this reason he stopped preaching to them and devoted his time to the Gentiles.5 We are told in the Bible “many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized”.6 It is to these believers in Corinth that this letter is written.
Paul had received information from Chloe’s household that there were problems in the church.7 In the beginning of his letter he talks about...

Introduction
This research paper will discuss I Corinthians 11:2-16. This passage speaks to the issue of proper head coverings for men and women in the early church. My research will look at why Paul felt it was important to write to the church at Corinth regarding this subject. I also will look at the circumstances in Corinth at that time, compared with the church today, and speak to whether Paul’s writings apply to men and women today.
Head Coverings – I Corinthians 11:2-16
2 Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered...

...﻿ I Corinthians is thought to be the second letter Paul had written to the church at Corinth, in I Corinthians 5:9 Paul says I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. This is thought to refer to an earlier letter called the warning letter sent to the church at Corinth at some point before this letter. Then we have the second letter to Corinth which we know as I Corinthians. Now we move to Paul’s third letter some call Paul’s Severe Letter he refers to in II Corinthians 7:8 where he talks about making them feel sorry for what they were doing. This does not fit to what he was talking about in I Corinthians so we think that he is referring to what some call his “Letter of Tears” which we believe was II Corinthians chapters 10-13. Then we have his fourth letter which we believe to be II Corinthians chapters 1-9. Paul went to Corinth a city in Greece and established the church there on his second missionary journey according to Luke in Acts 18:1-8. Now when we get to his second letter to the church in Corinth he starts by dealing with some of the churches issues. One of his first things he tries is to unify the church which had become divided between the followers of Paul, Peter and Apollo’s instead of just following the teaching of Christianity as a whole. He is trying to redirect them to their original calling in which all the glory...

...PEST Analysis
We carry out a PEST analysis to examine political, economic, social and technological factors on our business and we can use our findings to take advantage of opportunities that may arise and also be prepared to face possible threats that may come our way.
The use of PEST analysis will help our business to effectively adapt to the realities of the new environment and help us to create a marketing plan that will be effective and which will therefore enable our business to compete in the market.
Political Factors
Ireland is a neutral country therefore war and terrorism is very scarce in this part of the globe. So setting up a business in Ireland is quite safe. We are a small, private limited company and are main headquarters is based in Dublin which is the capital of Ireland which experiences little conflict with other counties and various countries that we might have to deal with world wide.
Because we imports our goods from China we have to pay taxes. We have to pay VAT (Value Added Tax) of 21% and also pay for shipping costs which are quite cheap and due to economies of scale where the average cost per unit that we produce falls sue to a large amount of output.
The Irish government is very lenient when it comes to price regulations. There are virtually no controls on prices in Ireland. This means that their is no legislation what the maximum or minimum price for any product should be. This...

...market with 60% of group sales and profits coming from the UK business. Despite Tesco having international growth, this means the company is highly dependent on the UK market and this is starting to lead to problems for them. For example, this year Tesco reported a fall in profit for the first time in 20 years. Because of this Tesco needs to use a PEST (Political, Economic, Social and Technological factors) analysis as it will allow the business to build their vision for the future and help them to avoid further decreases in profit. Good use of PEST Analysis would also help Tesco to avoid taking further action that would result in failure for reasons beyond their control e.g. the recession.
PEST analysis is used to analyse business markets, industries, segments or the whole economies. It provides a summary of the driving forces in the macro environment. It identifies drivers that were of high importance in the past, indicates to what extend they might change in future and how this will interfere with the organisation or the whole industry. Depending on the objective of the analysis, a distinction between the current situation and potential future changes may be helpful.
Political factors have an effect on Tesco. The government encourages retailers to provide a mix of job opportunities such as low-paid jobs, local based jobs, flexible jobs, high-skilled jobs and high-paid jobs etc. This is so the demand from...
